Mother's Bike Comes Back to Life (Now JBubble's bike has a mystery)

So after dumping Mother's bike in a gravel driveway back in October, its been sitting in the garage taken apart to be painted. He finished rebondo-ing (is that even a word) a horrible original bondo job on the tank and spray canned it a really nice matte silver (imagine a darker silver than whats on the silver S4R) this weekend. At some point, when we can afford it, a new tank will be professionally painted, so don't give me any crap about whats on there now
.
We wanted to get him back up and running this weekend since the weather here in Oregon is finally turning and he won't ride cupcake on my S2R. Here are some pics:
Parts and pieces and putting on pipes
Front fender
Belly pan
Putting on the tank (note: the rubber gasket thingie that goes on the hole at the top of the tank was surprisingly easy to put on with four hands instead of just two)
All done
Like I said, none of this was by any means a professional job. It was just something to get the bike going so we could ride together. Tomorrow we'll be making sure the tank is hooked up correctly, putting fuel in, and starting it up.

Shhhhh...don't make mention of the battery.
Its more than likely dead. We'll jump off my Audi and if it holds, we'll ride. If not, I'll grab a battery on Monday for him.

One day, I will get him on the back of my bike. And get a picture.

Cupcake?
First time I heard that one!
Nice rattlecan skills! I've seen some "pro" paintjobs that look could use some rattlecan therapy. Enjoy the ride!
